baked mac n cheese??

Anyone hav a recipe for baked mac n cheese? I  have been craving it badly! thanx Tami

i don't measure the ingredients so will give you the ingredients i use turns out very tasty

spray the bottom of what ever size pan you are going to use i use small just my husband and i
then i put a layer of whole wheat pasta on bottom
layer of cheese (i use several types Mexican , mozzarella, and Cheddar) all together
then more macaroni
more cheese till just a little room at the top
then instead of milk or butter both i try to avoid
i put stewed tomatoes on top liquid and all till entire top is covered
bake at 425 for about 30 minutes

Do you precook the pasta or does it "cook" in the liquid and oven?

thanks,

Athena

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!  I, too, have been craving mac n cheese but was scared of the pasta :-( . 

I know I'm late but I'd like to share.

Ingredients:

Macaroni
Half and Half
Velveeta
Cheddar and or Colby Cheese (block)
Shredded Cheddar or Colby Cheese
Butter or Margerine (1 stick)

Preheat oven at 375 degrees

1.  Boil and drain Macaroni and return to pot
2. Cut the Velveeta and block cheese into small cubes
3. Stir the butter into the warm macaroni until melted
4. Stir in the cubes of cheese and pour a little Half and Half on top (I don't measure, but I usually pour enough to loosen up the cheese mixture, maybe about 3/4 cup), stir again till somewhat blended
5. Grease or spray an oven-safe dish, then pour the macaroni and cheese mixture into the dish, making sure the cubes of cheese are evenly distributed throughout.
6. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top
7. Bake until bubbling and slightly browned, usually about 20-30 minutes

If you require extra seasoning, I sometimes put a little smidge of sugar and pepper into the mac and cheese mixture.

Here is a "don't boil the pasta" Mac & Chz for the crock pot, a friend gave me this recipe and it's GREAT!

Ingredients

* 1/2 pound elbow macaroni
* 4 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
* 1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
* 1 1/2 cups milk
* 2 eggs
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

1. Coat the inside of the slow cooker with cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, beat eggs with fresh and evaporated milks. Mix in uncooked macaroni and 3 cups shredded cheese. Transfer to slow cooker, and sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
3. Cook on low for 2-3 hours stirring every half hour or so.

I don't suggest using all cheddar cheese, put some colby in there or whatever your preference. Since there is no flour to hold everything together the cheese can break down. I didn't have condensed milk so I used half and half.

omg! those sound sooo good. but im only a week out from surgery and i know i wont be eating that anytime soon!!!!!
